They asked her, “What is real freedom?”
She answered,
“Freedom is mental clarity combined with inner peace. Freedom is when you can see without projecting and when you can live without causing yourself unnecessary mental tension or stress. It happens every moment you are not craving for more. Happiness and freedom are one.”

I had an 80 year old patient ask me this past week where I pictured my life in a year. She was telling me about her marriage & life when she was my age.
I told her if she had asked me that question even three months ago I probably would’ve had a completely different answer.
The most beautiful thing about life is that no matter what happened in the past you can always begin again.
You can have a change of heart. You can make mistakes & grow. You can endure the hurt from other beings. You can change your mind. You can forgive. You can change your plans of what you thought life was going to look like. You can choose to embody whatever person you wanna be. YOU choose your definition of happiness, love, & freedom.
I thought I was destined to just forever work my fingers to the bone here in Indy. It is where my roots are planted deep. 🌽
And yeah, right now I’m puttin in 50hrs minimum a week. Honestly that’s bullsht — I’m workin more like 60 hours a week.
I love my jobs, however. I have purpose & in the end it gives me financial freedom & peace of mind & so much soul food. They are my gifts & I was given these gifts for a reason so I’m gonna use’em.
But I know I don’t wanna do this forever. I’m not really living life.
Anyone else feel like this too?
I am intentionally grindin right now to get where I want to be because I’m not afraid to make sacrifices & work hard to get what I want.
I have goals I’m working towards & an epic life I’m ready to build.
Let the space between where you are, who you are, & where you wanna be & who you wanna be motivate the fck outta your life.
Fill your time with only people & things that matter.
And LOVE.
Love is always the answer❤️
Like my Mama always told me, let your roots run deep but let your heart have wings 🦋
